Pelosi: 'Thousands' of U.S. Soldiers Will Die in Iraq

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., predicted Tuesday that the Iraq war will not only cause mass casualties among Iraqi forces, but it will also cost the lives of "thousands" of U.S. soldiers.

"I think that it's very important to have as pillars of our foreign policy promoting democratic values [and] stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction," the top House Democrat told CNBC's "Capital Report."

Then Pelosi unloaded her morale-crushing comment, "But I think that there are other ways to go about it than to have thousands of people killed on both sides."

With the exception of Rush Limbaugh's radio program, which played the Pelosi audio, the California Democrat's hysterical prediction went unreported on Wednesday.

Wishful thinking on the part of this scum-sucking Marxist.

Gee, Nancy, is that a threat?

Keep talking Nancy!

Your irrelevance is showing!

Who the hell does she think she is? Miss Cleo? What she thinks is not a fact and she ought to just shut up. She is disliked enough already.

[Question_Assumptions]

These twits keep talking about "other ways" to solve these problems but they never mention any details. An intelligent person might conclude that there really aren't any "other ways" and that this is just wishful thinking.

[MediaMole]

This from the woman who claimed Saddam didn't have any WMDs, but warned that our troops would be hit with chemical weapons if we invaded.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

The Democrats are trying to catch up to the UN on seeing who can be more irrelevant

Or maybe Pelosi is hoping this many troops die......it would mean fewer GOP votes, according to her Lowness

[Cincinatus]

the California Democrat's hysterical prediction went unreported on Wednesday.

That's because hysteria from a Democrat isn't news.

[pubmom]

I wonder if her hands are worn out from all that wringing?

[Mister Magoo]

Oh, you do, do you? Well, Saddam's been in power for 25 years, I think your method of kissing his ass hasn't worked quite like you thought it would.

[MP5]

BOTOX ALERT! Is it me, or is there smile always stretched across that spooky face of hers?

[bert]

She and her Rat commrads have the blood of the 911 victims on their hands. They will never be able to shake the guilt born of inaction and the failure of appeasement.

There is now a death wish and a hope to rationalize away the guilt.

[mountaineer]

What Nancy "The Facelift" Pelosi knows about the military or warfare in general could be put into a thimble, with plenty of room to spare.

[BeAllYouCanBe]

"California Democrat's hysterical prediction went unreported on Wednesday"

Boy I wish I could hang this stupid statement on her for the rest of her life. As I heard yesterday, "The US kills less civilians accidently then Saddam does on purpose."

Also, Nancy has lost more blood in her various face lifts then the people of Iraq being freed from the mass murder Saddam.

[PISANO]

We all know that Socialists get a PASS on the truth. It will NOT be mentioned anywhere in the press/media (save FOX) AS LONG AS everything goes the way it is NOW. IF on the other hand there was a MIRACLE setback and we lose a thousand or more SHE WILL BE HAILED as KNOWING much more than the POTUS, SECDEF and the Joint Chiefs. Socialists get to have it both ways because they have the MEDIA as ALLIES.

Pelosi: 'Thousands' of U.S. Soldiers Will Die in Iraq

In your dreams, you evil democrat vermin.

[gridlock]

My dog can bark so that it sounds like "I love you", but I don't listen to what she has to say.

I wouldn't waste a lot of time analysing the statements of Nancy Pelosi.

[mabelkitty]

Nancy, I thought Saddam didn't have WMD?

Do you know something I don't?

[Slyfox]

SEPARATED AT THE KENNEL:

[Blue Screen of Death]

I would imagine from Nancy's point of view this is not all bad. Not many in the military are likely to vote for her or the other liberal Democrats. Get a soldier off the voter list and add five illegal aliens.

[bert]

 

Look carefully at the hair line and around her ear.....

[headsonpikes]

"Wishful thinking on the part of this scum-sucking Marxist."

Yup.

[narby]

I believe I just saw a post about US tanks on the ground at Saddam International Airport, and encountering no resistance whatever.

I think Baghdad is crashing as we type. Pelosi is an idiot.

The lights were probably put out as one last effort to prevent the people from seeing it for themselves on TV, so as to buy the Ba'athists a few more hours of time.

[Republic of Texas]

It's not a prediction, it's a fervent hope on Pelosi's part.

[ErnBatavia]

Is it me, or is there smile always stretched across that spooky face of hers?

It ain't you...when she blinks, her boobs jiggle.

[VOA]

thread to revisit in about two to three weeks...
to see "who said what and when did they say it".

[Jonah Hex]

More info than I needed to know, thank you very much.

(shudder)

[chiefqc]

Who's the Old,Ugly shiney faced moron next to the cute dog???

[Reactionary]

She's projecting insecurities again. What Pelosi really means to say is that thousands of democrats are going to die by the ballot.

[HighRoadToChina]

Idiot BUMP!

[BeAllYouCanBe]

"These twits keep talking about "other ways" to solve these problems but they never mention any details."

I have seen conflict resolution classes at the middle school level where kids talk about their "options" on using violence. It is important to get an authority involved to solve the problem.

Based on this liberal methodology - we should have Kofi Annan interview Saddams torture victims and ask them how they feel before and after the torture sessions and let Saddam know their feeelings were hurt by the process.

[rolling_stone]

Maybe she needs to listen to PFC Jessica Lynch for a pep talk....

[MP5]

That is scary!!

[Beck_isright]

DAMN you kattracks. You made me spit a perfectly good adult beverage all over my monitor and keyboard. That was too funny. I hope Brit plays that audio and/or video tonight!!!!!

[1Old Pro]

They're in a deep hole and what do they do? They keep on digging....LOL

[Question_Assumptions]

And then? Oh, I forgot. They don't have an "...and then?" in leftist la-la land.

What they need to be told is to envision a world where violence is never an option, you need to envision a world where no one exists that may commit violence, since uncaring violence performed against pacifists will always win. Hmmmm. Perhaps this is just another manifestation of the environazi fantasy of a human-free earth.

[Snickersnee]

One more facelift & she'll be sporting a goatee!

[nicmarlo]

Re: Your Archive "of all those who stood for hussein and against our President and troops," I think this more than qualifies.

[Trace21230]

Quite a striking resemblance, although I think the hound looks more like Cher than Pelosi with that wig on!

Trace

[BSunday]

I see she took the same "Logical Thinking" and "Delusional Denial" classes as the Iraqi leaders

[ASA Vet]

evil democrat vermin.

Redundancy Alert Alert Alert

[beaversmom]

Before the war started, two Rachel Corrie types told me that 500,000 Iraqis were going to be killed in this war. They really need to get their crystal balls fixed.

The mother of all battles.

We are going to need 50,000 body bags.

It's going to be another Vietnam.

It's a quagmire.

[Matchett-PI]

"One more facelift & she'll be sporting a goatee!"

Oh how I'd love to see Registered do THAT graphic!!! LOL!!

[Political Junkie Too]

Did Pelosi say how many seats they'll pick up for every 1,000 soldiers killed?

-PJ

[Slyfox]

Quite a striking resemblance, although I think the hound looks more like Cher than Pelosi with that wig on!

Well, you know what happens when you are a liberal and you are trying to shed your liberal look.

First thing to go was Pelosi's fro.

[swheats]

Do these people really wake every day with a death wish for America?

[jmaroneps37]

In the language of the Brooklyn streets where I grew up: "These people are mental!!"

[Pagey]

"But I think that there are other ways to go about it than to have thousands of people killed on both sides."

"Fascinating comment Nancy, would you care to annunciate a few of those ways? You can't? You can't do that? Well what kind of leader are you? Hmmm"? If only the interview could've gone like that. Pelosi is a little late and still behind Hillary Rotten on my 'negative comments against America' scorecard.

[gcruse]

No, but the headline is wrong anyway. Pelosi talks about thousands of casualties on both sides, not just Americans, which has arleady happened.
